Partious of South Carolina IS affected with Scourge of cater pillars. while Kansas crops are be- ing destroyed by the chinizbug. For years Texas and other states have suffered from severe douths. While all this has been, and is still gong on, Arkansas goes on in the even tenor of her way, with none of these evils to contend with she never making less than a three fonrths crop. taking the State as a whole. and no, less than a halfcrop in any section. These things tell ont in her favor. as also the fact that a half crop here equals a full crop in the old states, and that too without fertilization.

Succuss of No Two Men Alike

Notwo men owe their success to the same method or the same talents. What sends one man up in halo of glory sends another down 10 the depths of obscurity What makes one man famous kills another. One man fails in one city and becomes successful in anoth- CT. One man is a success in the country and fails in the city, And so it seems throughout all depart. ments ofhte.

Under the heading of ''Save at the
Spiggot and let out at the Bung Hole, "
our morning contemporary makes a
grievous mistake. City Council has
not decided that the new Third ward
hose carriage house should be located
on the Vine street school house lot.
While the matter has been talked off,
there has been nothing definitely de-
cided upon, and it is hardly likely that
the house will be put on the school
house property as it is thought that a
majority of Council are not in favor of
building the house far from the Broad
street hill. The members of Council
from Second ward are not in favor of
removing the hose carriage any fur
ther from their ward than can be
helped.
Chief of Fire Department Elwell says
that if the Court House lot is not de-
sirable, a part of the City Hotel proper
ty can be gotten for that purpose. He
further says that if the hose house is
on Vine street, that firemen who are
at work down town will not go there
after the carriage, but would rather go
to the old place as it would be much
more convenient for them than to go
so far in the Third ward.

The rose-bug is making terrible
havoc in the peach orchards of Green
wich and Stow Creek townships
They are rapidly becoming dangerous
to the growing crop. A farmer who
resides in lower Stow Creek was in
town Saturday, and stated that rose
bugs were present in a great multitude
in his neighborhood, and were doing
much damage. He says further that
even the rail fences were covered with
them. A farmer in Greenwich picked
small twig from peach tree on the
VIM. Wallace farm, which was literally
covered with them If the pest con-
tinues a few days longer it is feared
that the peach crop will be ruined.

Highly Complimented.

Hon. Jas. w. Porch, Consul General
to Mexico, has resigned his position,
and returned home Mr.. Porch is well
known in Bridgeton and vicinity. He
was a student of law in Jas. r. Hoag
lands office few years ago, married
his wife in Greenwich, and was ap-
pointed Consul General while a resi-
dent of Missouri. Previous to his de-
parture from Mexico largely attended
meeting of the American citizens of
that city was held in the Iturbide
Hotel, at which a series of highly COM
plimentary resolutions to Mr.. Porch
were adopted. Appended is the prin-
cipal resolution as taken from the
Iipo Repubics:-
Resogred. That by the distinguished
ability, unselfish zeal, patriotic fidelity,
and thorough knowledge of the varied
and important duties of his office with
which the Hon. j. w. Porch has dis
charged the trust reposed in him by
our government, he has won our
highest respect, most perfect conf
dence and deepest gratitude. He has
maintained the dignity of his high
office, and returns his portfolio to his
government with record in which we
all feel a patriotic pride.

The Department of Agriculture, in
its monthly crop report, gives the fol-
lowing returns for New Jersey:
Wheat-Salem: looks very poor and
thin. but generally good color. Bur
lington: That which started promptly
after seeding is splendid, but the late
seeded wheat looks badly; some
plowed up; favorable growing weather.
Gloucester: Improved, and condition
is favorable. Union: Badly Winter
killed. Camden: Very thin, and can
not make over a half crop. Mercer:
Some early sown last Fall before the
drought came looks well, but a large
portion of late sown is failure;
plowed up and superseded by corn.
Morris: Did we'll until the cold winds of
March killed the tops. Hunterdon:
Average on rolling-land, but only half
crop on many fields of late sown. Some
fields plowed, wheat replaced by other
crops. Middlesex: Badly Winter-killed
in March, and April on all low lands.
Warren: Condition forty per cent. in
south of county and sixty per cent. in
the north. The difference is due to
the variance in snow protection.

SET ON FIRE.
Two Large Hay Stacks Con-
Sumed.

What might have proved a serious
fire had the wind been in an opposite
direction, was that of the burning of
two hay stacks on the farm of Mr..
Allen Whitaker, one half mile below
Fairton. 1t was while Sunday School
was in session, that Mr. Whitaker
walked out of his house, and looking
toward his hay stacks near by, discov-
cred one of them to be on fire. Hastily
returning to the house and securing a
bucket of water, and rushing to the
hay stack, he threw the water upon the
blaze. But the water had no effect.
The flames were already spreading
fast, and Mr.. Whitaker gave an alarm,
fearing that the fire might spread to
the buildings near by. The members
of the Sunday School, and neigh
bors hurried to the scene, but only
succeeded in preventing the flames
spreading to the buildings, and both
stacks of hay, containing many tons
were entirely consumed at considera-
BILE loss to the owner.
The origin Of the fire was incendiary,
and Mr.. Whitaker strongly suspects a
young boy of only seven years of age
of being the guilty party, as he was
seen going over the fence and running
from the vicinity of the stacks, but a
few moments before the fire was dis
covered. The boy has had repnta-
ton, having been taken from the Re-
form School by the man with whom
he lives The wind being in an oppo-
site direction from the buildings of Mr..
Whitaker alone saved item from per-
haps total destruction.

What the Last Census Shows.

According to the census of school
children and the census Of our. city's
population as taken by Messrs. isaiah
F. Barnes and Daniel Ginenback, the
school census takers, the popuIa ION
of the city has materially incrs. ased
since the last census taken by the
State in 1885. In that year the census
showed that within the borders of this
city there lived ten thousand and sixty
persons.
Mr.. Barnes in the First, Second and
Fourth wards, made complete census
of the children and the adults as WELL
LII the Third ward Mr.. Ginenback did
not make complete census, but says
there are considerably over 5000 people
there. The report as completed by
the census takers is as follows:
First Ward. population, 1904
Second Ward, (not including that
part of the Second Ward known as the
Gouldtown School DISTRICT, 2,4S4.
Fourth Ward, (not including that
portion of the Ward known as the
Gouldtown School District), 2,105.
Third Ward, 5000, making total of
1O,493. This, including those residing
in Gouldtown, would bring the popu-
lation up very nearly if not quite to
twelve thousand3
The school census is as follows:
First Ward, 1853; Second Ward, 741;
Third Ward, 1876; Fourth Ward, SIS,
making total of 2, 744

. Specifications are being printed in
regard to the sinking of the wells in
the vicinity of the retaining reservoir.
The wells are to be 3Ox20 feet. 1t may
be that they will be more than twenty
feet deep. The water will be the cold
est and purest of spring water, and
the place where the wells are to be
sunk, the water has a splendid flow.
With these wells the city need never
fear having sufficient water supply,
and an excellent one too, at that.

Somebody will get into very serious
trouble if they do not stop this petty
thieving. On Saturday last our Third
ward paper carrier gave Overseer
Spence of the third ward three papers
to deliver for him. Mr.. Spence was
working on West commerce street and
his coat was hanging on tree and he
put the papers in his coat. Some one
presumably boys rif1ed his pocket and
the papers were stolen. Mr.. Spence
thinks he knows the guilty party.

On Saturday night last the family of
Benjamin Baracliff, of No. 50 Walnut
street, went out for the evening and
as is the custom put the key in the
usual hiding place. During their alb

left the doors wide open. When the
family returned they took in the situ-
alton at once and a thorough search
was made. Nothing was discovered
stolen, nor could the key of the house
be found.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Dropping Dead at the Breakfast
Table.

my what a pain / have in my
headp were the last words that Mrs.
Margaret Sugars, widow of the late
Peter Sugars, ever spoke. The words
came from her lips Monday morning
as she was seated at the breakfast
table at the residence of Mrs. j. N.
Spence, on the Roadstown road, and
no sooner were the words spoken than
she fell from the chair in which she
was seated, to the floor dead.
Mrs. Sugars was eighty years old a
few weeks ago, and a pleasant sur
prise was given her on that day, full
account of which appeared in these
columns at the time. At her advanced
age she was feeling as well as could be
expected, and up to the time of her
death she was quite lively, helping
Mrs. Spence, her daughter, get the
things upon the table as has been her
custom in the past.
A physician was Immediately de-
spatched for. but the white face, the
pulseless wrists, the non-beating OF
the heart showed that no effort of his
could return life to the body. The
physician after an examination pro-
nounced the. death due from apoplexy.
The funeral of the deceased will take
place on Wednesday morning at ten
o'clock a. III. from the residence of
Mr. Snencn The services will be
held in the Freesburg church.

wered by a man who said, ''That de-

pends on the liver" And that is so.
Then we have our lecture courses and
our educational night classes These
classes are practical. They are for our
factory boys, our clerks and others
who cannot attend school in the day.
I would say much more but don't want
to trespass on the time of Mr.. Yatman.
Of course you need building. You
can't keep the rooms you have after
your lease expires God is pushing
you out of them, but only that you
may spread further and have greater
influence Yes, God through that
landlord is pushing you into asplendid
building. Now as to the money.
$4,000; of course you can raise it in
this good community, and expect to
get portion of it tonight"
After a hymn, ''To the Work." by
the choir, Mr. G. H. Yatman introduced
himself and said he was loaded on this
! question fully an inch above the muz-
zle. We will have this building, he
said, as soon as can be. We need it in
the town. We want to reach the fallen
and make. the new building lantern
tower for our young men to see and
keep clear of the shoals. We don't
want an ordinary building, we want
an extraordinary building. Not rented
rooms with stiff back chairs but hand
some rooms with easy rocking chairs
and other conveniences. We don't
want to talk but we want to build the
building.
His talk was short and to the point.
He made lasting impressions upon his
hearers and then he told of the man.
ner in which. it had been decided to
raise the money. Certificates of stock
were to be issued, at five dollars per
share The shares could be paid in
five years time if desired. No money
was to be paid until $25, 900 had been
subscribed. The certificates were
then passed about the audience and
the work of filling them out began.
In very short time they were returned
and Mr.. Yatman commenced to read
them off. Five hundred dollars was
the largest subscription, and there
were several of them. Then three,
two and one hundred was given.
Then smaller and at last the total
footed up to four thousand, one hun
dred and twenty dollars.
Many of the persons desired to keep
their cards and think over the matter
before deciding how much they should
give. The amount was highly salts
factory and from now on the work
will be pushed with vim.
1t is earnestly desired that our citi-
zens should see this great need of our
city and do all that is in our power in
dividually to help the matter along.
The building will be a great advantage
to the city, and by earnest effort upon
the part of our citizens, the building
can be built.

Many years ago, in clearing up the
Canton Baptist cemetery, the work
men found hickory bush a few inches
high, which by chance had sprung up
on the grave of Thomas Watson, the
donor of the ground. 1t was allowed
to remain, and the hickory has now
attained growth of over three feet in
circumference at the butt, and towers
many feet in the air.

''Not dead but sleeping,n is what
they now say concerning our proposed
street railway, and when it gets wide
awake, it is expected to be an electri-
cal railway. The principal mover in
the enterprise has been engaged some
time in obtaining data on the subject
which will be laid before meeting of
citizens to be called before long. The
proposed route is from the Port Nor
ris R. r. crossing on East Commerce
street, to the West Jersey Academy,
and if this proves successful, it is in
tended to connect North and South
Bridgeton by a line either on Pearl or
Laurel streets. The sleeping beauty
is expected to yawn and stretch her
self before long, and we will see that
the readers of the PIONEER are duly
advised of the fact when she is ready

CHILDREN'S DAY.
The Baptist Sunday Schools
Unite in The Anniversary.

Sunday was the anniversary of
Children's Day bv the Baptist Sunday
Schools and that night the three schools
united together in celebrating the an
niversary in the First Baptist Church
To late conner beautiful sight was
presented as the church was entered.
In the pulpit was profusion of
flowers, great ferns and bouquets COM
pletely filling up the entire space with
the exception of standing room for
those who took individual parts. Then
directly in front of the pulpit sat the
children, large and small, from the
three Sunday Schools. Dressed in
pretty white dresses the sight was in
deed pretty one. The rest of the
large church room was completely
crowded with spectators, the crowd
extending even into the aisles and ves-
tibules.
After nicely executed organ volun-
tary the exercises were commenced by
a responsive reading between the
Superintendent and scholars. ''Chil-
dren's Day" was then sung, and then
followed recitation, Address to the
Flowers" 1.-The Garden of Delight y
was the subject of the address by Rev.
Mr.. Cass. and then "Hosanna to the
Lamb" was sung by the schools. Again
the pastor made an address, this time
on 1.-The Garden of the Mind" :" "What
Shall We Plant" and "The Seed of
Love" were recitations which followed
the remarks of the pastor. The entire
congregation sang Scatter Seeds of
Kindness and the third address of
the pastor on Garden of the Soul,n
followed. Two more recitations, 1.-THE
Flowret Bells of Blue" and ''Everlast-
ing Love-" were given. After hymn
by the congregation, the pastor again
talked about ''The Cultivation of
Gods Garden, and the scholars sang
1.-THE Lord Hath Need of Thee" Re-
sponsive exercises closed most inter
esting nleeting, and the congregation
was dismissed with the benediction.

prohibition law against its enforce
menJ." The last class may seem
novel to the reader; but it includes
all those who still believe in pro-
hibition while they tacitly or open
ly admit that it cannot be en-
forced. And there is at least one
practical politician, respected
friend of the writer, who justifies
this with certain logic. If We are
to give over depressing evil by law
because every case is not punished
under it { he would say) the argu-
ment proves too much; most evil
doing goes UNPUBLISHED. Moreover,
there are many other valuable laws
which are rarely enforced, and this
without bringing their principle
into disrespect. The laws against
profane cursing and swearing, for
instance, or against Sabbath break
ing, are only rarely enforced, and
III necessary cases. But it is useful,
all the same, if a gang of barge
men come and swear under your
parlor windows, or if all corpora
lions should force their employees to
labor and toll every one of the seven
days III the week, to be able to in
woke the law against them. So
| of prohibition. Solitary drinking, the
quiet evasion Of the law, may Meth
er be discovered nor suppressed;
but the public nuisance, the social
evil, the bar-room as a centre Of Pc
lltical and social life, must be stop
ped; and SO much, at least, is not
impossible.
1t is still too early to forecast the
decision Of the people on this ques
ZION. The first, or license class, is
perhaps increasing in the west; the
second and third in what proper
ton it is hard to say) in the east
and south. In four states prohibi-
ton has been made an article of the
constitution with of course the
| sole effect of making it more diff
cult to repeal), Texas has local
option provision in the constitution;
| while in Colorado only the sale cf
rugged or adulterated liquor is so
| forbidden. But one conclusion we
may note as certain; it is now the
iecided and wellnigh universal
opinion OF democracy that the sale
f Intoxicating liquor should, il
possible, be prevented. That is,
democracy believes men are too
weak to be left at liberty in this
| particular and would seek to fence
them from themselyes.-From "The
